Need for Speed Underground 2, Most Wanted (2005), and Undercover. Underground 2 has the most psychotically detailed car customization I've ever seen. MW and Undercover both have the best cop chases this side of GTA.

edit:
On PC, the closest thing you can get to the glory of Most Wanted 2005 is Undercover. Its a little different and didn't graphically age well. But it does still have Carbon's Sweet customization (second only to Underground 2's) and the best cop chases on PC till GTAV comes out.

Is your school curriculum insufficient or bias? Cause let me tell you from tangent experience, the Bob Jones University curriculum is full of shit. I can't believe they show kids that sick, evil, brainwashing garbage. also do you feel brainwashed or sheltered in any way?

Line seems a bit pretentious for my tastes and I don't see much in the way of variety and progression in Pig Farmer. Magic Goes Away definitely has the most promise as a concept. Very unique premise with a lot of gameplay potential to be had. My question is: were you think of it as a puzzle game or an action game? both have pros and cons, but I'm curious which you had in mind.

Dragon's Dogma is pretty okay. It's no Elder Scrolls, but it sure beats the hell outta Fable. Also, if you like story and don't mind stale combat, try some JRPGs. Valkyria Chronicles and Final Fantasy VI (3 on SNES) are both great, but not PC.

Best: after my brother committed suicide, i had to go to my old church to drop of a slideshow the family had prepared for the funeral. while watching the slideshow to make sure it worked, i broke down crying realizing that my brother was gone forever. the Pastor was around and about, and he stopped everything he was doing and tried his best to comfort me. He didn't say anything religious, he just tried to help me accept the fact my brother was dead.

Worst: Sermons. I've sat through a fuckton of sermons in my time, and nearly all of them I wish was some kind of debate or discussion. Some highlight summaries: "Everyone in this room is going to hell except me and this one other guy", "Human beings are incapable of doing anything good without help from the holy spirit (even atheists)", "You must worship 'THIS LOUD' to enter heaven", "masturbation is evil", "any from of non-religious media including music, movies, television, games, and books not written by republicans will damn you to hell", and of course; "all homosexuals will burn in hell."
